The Tunisian manager did not complete his contract with the Glamour Boys before his departure, but ensured he ended their trophy drought during his stay at the club.
The Soweto giants had gone ten years without a trophy before Nabi's arrival, and the former AS FAR Rabat mentor led them to victory in last season's Nedbank Cup by beating Orlando Pirates in the final of the competition.

Addressing the supporters, he thanked them for their loyalty and faith in the project, calling them the true strength of the club. He reminded them of his promise to build a competitive team both locally and continentally and said they were now close to achieving it.
He also thanked Safi Majdi and Elyes Mzoughi for their hard work, passion, and loyalty, stating that it was a pleasure working with them. In addition, he expressed gratitude to analysts Yusha, Mark, and Vaughan for their efforts and respect, and to the doctors, physiotherapists, kit managers, cooks, and administrative staff for making daily work easier.
He paid tribute to club legends Dr. Khumalo, Siphiwe Tshabalala, and Coach Arthur Zwane for welcoming him warmly, treating him well, and supporting him through both good and challenging times.
He concluded by saying he leaves with pride in having worn the gold and black colours, ended the club’s trophy drought, and been part of the greatest club in South Africa, signing off with “Shapa Khosi Shapaa.”
